“A good steak tossed on the grill for about 20 seconds is what I call food of the gods.

Any steak cooked to shoe-leather is a bad one.”

Apples and oranges. Chicken-fried steak is originally from the poorest cuts of beef. Beating the hell out of it, breading it and frying it for a bit actually did it some good. You’ll find that many Southern dishes are based on what rural poor people could get.

Yup. When ever I’m in Memphis, I head to Corky’s for the ribs.

Most French cuisine is the same. All of the sauces and marinades were to tenderize tough cuts of meat. My mother was a great cook (I didn’t get that gene), and she could take an old shoe and make it tender and tasty.

Same in the North - only we didn't fry it, we'd braise it and call it Swiss Steak.
